Roll Arena: 1
When I was a kid, this was THE place to roller skate. I can still remember the smell of dust and feet, the sounds of wheels rolling over the wooden floor, the way I’d get a blister on my right foot from never varying the counter-clockwise circle.

What do kids do for fun these days? Where is Henry and Polly when you need them?

I know: Henry and Polly, and whoever operated that miniature golf course I posted a couple of months ago left a void, didn’t they?

I suppose it said Skate on the right side too, but there really are quite a few letters that would fit in the gap nicely.
“roll arena lubbock” has quite a web presence. Maybe Henry and Polly are back.

I sort of think the place is still open for private parties. I hope it is. But since Henry and Polly started the place in 1961, it might be their ghosts hanging out there now.
